Hi,

in most code editors I know one can select a (multiline) block of code/text and then hit
TAB to indent and move it from the position to the right side.

Using SHIFT+TAB one can move it back to the left. In Pharo the selected text unfortunately
is always deleted instead of moved/indented when hitting TAB.

Is such an editor mode or special key combination available? If not could this easily be
brought into the current text/code editor(s) in Pharo 7? Or will a possible upcoming Bloc
text/code editor support such behavior?

This would be really nice to have and move Pharo editor away from being like Notepad. Because
editors in Eclipse, NetBeans, VS, Brackets, Atom, Notepad++ all support this TAB Indentation
out of the box. ;)

Thanks
T.
